Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML

If you wanted to break up wouldn't you already have a reason without having to create one?

Making strategic plans to end a relationship only drags out the process. You're over thinking it, if you don't have feelings for him anymore just cut it off quick and clean, less painful for everyone, anything else will give him mixed signals. I think you've realized from the other posts that you messed this one up, but you're human and now you know better. Do what needs to be done so you can both move on.

And why do you want to dump him? Further more, why did you think it was a good idea to introduce him to your parents if you weren't serious about him? YDI

Don't be a pussy. Just dump him. Saves much more time.

YDI because yes, now it'll be awkward to break up, but you should've been up front in the first place. Also, it was rather mean and low to invite him just so your parents could hate him. That says a lot.

That's just horrible. At least have the decency to go somewhere neutral or his place if you want to break up. YDI

So you were going to use your parents as an excuse to dump him? If you want to break up, break up! You don't need someone else's opinion to justify your choices. And now, once you do leave him, your parents are going to wonder why you dumped a guy you were apparently serious enough about to introduce to them. YDI.

YDI totally IMO, if you can not man up and grow some balls and need to find the excuse and almost actually would've humiliated your "almost ex" boyfriend you're showing how douchy you have been. Totally deserves it

Time to woman up, grow a pair of ovaries and do your own dirty work.
